Best Free Music Apps for Android and iPhone

Downloading and saving music on your phone or computer is a thing of the past. Today, you can stream almost any music you want. Here are our top picks for free music streaming apps on Android and iPhone.

Spotify

Spotify is one of the most extensive music streaming services in the world with over 30 million tracks in its library and over 83 million paying users. You can listen to ad-supported music for free on shuffle (which is similar to using a radio app). Finding and listening to tracks is also possible, but is limited in the free tier.

You can pay $9.99 a month ($14.99 for a family plan) and save music offline, create custom playlists, and get some more features.

Pandora

Pandora is another internet radio style app (just like most of the apps on our list). Enter the name of an artist, genre, or a song and Pandora will create a station just for you. The more music you listen to and rate, the more Pandora understands your tastes and recommends music based on them. It’s a great way to discover new music.

Although Pandora is free, you’ll have to create an account to listen to music. The free plan is also ad-supported and lets you skip a limited number of songs per day.
